at home the christmas shopping season is here in full swing and those who are wise will not deter that important item until the last minute stocks now are just as complete as they will be and in most cases cannot be replenished gone are the days when a wholesale can be called upon to fill tn a broken lin because the shelves of the wholesaler do not carry the ready stock acton stores offer as good a variety and in many cases better than will be found elsewhere your local merchant knows the community demand best and has done his beat in early ordering to have the goods that you want you will also find that his prices compare favorably with those obtainable any where quite often your local store can supply goods that is now not procurable in the larger centres v in this issue acton merchants offer you a host of gift suggestions to make your shopping as easy aspossible you will save yourself a lot of time expense and disappointment if you visit acton stores how and make your purchases- again we urge shop now and shop in acton v dont lose the chrtotattta spirit about the finest christmas gift that could come to the world right now would be peace but for this christmas that will be the impossible gift this is the fourth yuletide that has been observed under the war cloiids and each one has seen a people more determined that only jn victory and the conclusion of a peace that will free the people who have been oppressed will they be content today canadians are more serious in their effort to win than at any other tjme at this christmas time of 1942 wc have more autc lorhopcxulncsmorc reason foroptimism thi at any of the other four christmastides that have been held in four years therefore we say enjoy the christmas season as best you can the places of loved ones away from home can never be filled only by those loved ones but this christmas we have mare attco sheet if may show more expenditure than rev- ian but so do the schools and like the schools it also provides a very necessary side to the life of the young people- of the community we personally hope the arena will operate this year but if a greater need of the war arises we know young people will gladly forego this pleasure knowing it is only tem porary a ctaratdjtag time announcement in another column tells of the de crease in the cost of several commodities that afec the pocketbook of every householder true these items directly attacke do not cover all the spots where increases have oixurreu bulthey do make a start we have had a year of price control fevtry one knows that every price hasnt been brought under control that the plan hasnt been perfect but everyone knows that without this control wages and prices would have reached a stage where the wajgeearner would have suffered most i it is interestrng to see by this announcement that price control after a year of experience is flexible enough to adopt the measures which will keep the cost of living within bounds all these measures aredisturbing to the normal conduct of business we find some of them so beneficial that many hope that after the war they will continue it is well however that those not found beneficial can also be discarded at any time such are the benefits of a democratic way that when the-need- arises for the greatest number that need of the majority is re tained and expanded today we hear a great deal of talk about the ideal conditions that are planned in the days after the war it would indeed be a calamity if a better world did not emergeafter the fierce ordeal through which humanity as a whole is passing that better way of life wi sacr to many that the greatest need may be serv it too will h sary to bring if about and no doubt the ideals of the postwar period will have their beginning in the con trols now in effect mistakes and corrections will occur from time to time and during this and the future period of readjustment we are likely to have many changes v ia good town if you hear people talking about the maces they have lived in or visited they will often say that such and such a place is a good town and they will say that certain places are not so good reputation as a good town is created by several factors prominent among which are business enter prise willingness to try out new ideas and high standards of maintenance the good town does not like to be surpassed by competing cities if it learns of some new improvement introduced elsewhere it is likely to investigatehbescheme and try it out it holds the ideal of a spotlesstown it is considered upto everybody to make his place shine and create ri impression i of refinement and progress it is a ighty paying proposition to create the reputation that a place is a good-town- v editorial notes swift lifeboat
